Thrift Store Scores

[Anesthetist]

Geez man that is some beautiful stuff! All of our thrift stores carry old off brand Chinese made crap. The thrill of the hunt though is still there.

Just scored these Irish Setter 877 boots.  9.5d.  They are in great condition.  Hardly any sole wear.  The label and stamping dates them probably late 70's/early 80's.

Some better photos for any vintage red wing fans.  These are up for grabs.

40's LL Bean half moon pocket hunting vest.  Olive duck.  White signature label.

3 nice scores, RBG

Here's a pair of Bates Floaters I have on ebay. The markings on the inside are little bits of sock lint that's tangled in the pile. Otherwise these are good to go…

I'd say that is a fishing vest.  The sheepskin patch is for putting flies in for easy and quick access and change of fly, the loop on the bottom right of the vest is for resting a rod butt in when standing in water and wanting to change a fly or other such thing that requires 2 hands…

Yep. Which reminds me, was admiring this recently.

Very nice!!!! Was after a fly fishing vest….. Barbour used to do a nice spey one but had a look and can't seem to track the same one down!

I used to have vests whose desirability was based on the number of pockets they had.  Now, if I can't get all I need in 2 shirt pockets and a small fanny pack when I am fly fishing, I'm carrying too much shit….

My first vest which was a formative piece of clothing (I mentioned it in one of the threads here about our histories and what got us into clothes) was a denim vest, insulated and lined with flannel. It had a ridiculous number of pockets. I too am in the "less is more" camp these days. Only outerwear I wear regularly with more than three pockets is the IH M65.

Not thrifted, but pretty damn cheap from eBay.

Picked these up yesterday, new unworn condition. Thinking about tossing them on ebay, even though they fit me.

[riffblaster general]

Belstaff x drizabone trialmaster.  125cm. Fits a 48" chest.  I'm not even gonna tell you what I paid for this.  I have somebody interested but if it doesn't work out it's up for grabs for any of you big boned motorbike gents.

[Megatron1505]

Fuuuuuuuck, I've been eyeing up one of those for weeks 

Let me know if your sale falls through Nate

Time to poll the audience Cassie says these are too "old man" to pull off, I say to hell with that, as soon as the weather breaks I'm gonna start rockin these. So do they scream geriatric, or is this classic enough that they should become go to in the spring?
